Suplementação de micronutrientes na senescência: implicações nos mecanismos imunológicos
Palavras-chave:
envelhecimento, estado nutricional, micronutrientes, sistema imuneResumo
A prevalência de indivíduos idosos em detrimento de indivíduos jovens compreende um quadro comum na população mundial. As estimativas indicam que, em 2050, cerca de 22% da população mundial serão constituídos por indivíduos idosos. As mudanças no sistema imune do indivíduo idoso ocorrem acentuadamente na imunidade mediada por células, caracterizada pelo aumento do número de linfócitos T imaturos (CD2+CD3-), decréscimo do número de linfócitos T virgens (CD45RA), aumento dos linfócitos de memória (CD45RO), e aumento das células helper T2, com decréscimo das helper T1. Embora as mudanças na resposta humoral sejam menores no envelhecimento, a menor especificidade e afinidade dos anticorpos nos indivíduos idosos constituem uma diferenciação da resposta imune. Estudos recentes demonstram que no envelhecimento a suplementação de micronutrientes específicos exerce efeitos benéficos sobre o sistema imune.
